    Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 8/2

        With good temperatures and flows, the Blackfoot has continued to fish really well. At this point in the summer, it would take the MVP title for the season. Don’t expect to be alone out here, though. Everyone wants to see what the hype is about. For dries use big elk hair caddis, spruce…

    Bitterroot Fishing Report – 7/31

        The Bitterroot’s water temps have been hanging in the 50’s with the flows dropping to a more than wade-able level.  The PED and caddis fishing in the evenings has been great, and the PMD spinner falls in the mornings have also been noteworthy but the mid day has been a little slow with…

    Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 7/31

      The Blackfoot is seeing some great spruce moth hatches lately.  Big pale or tan colored elk hair caddis’ in a size 10 works great for’em.  Hoppers are also starting to make an appearance. The river is fishing well all day with good water temps which makes this a great option for today.  For dries…

    Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 7/31

        With the summer weather hitting its peak the fishing is still holding strong.  The water temps are still reasonable and the morning and evening fishing has been great. The mid day town fishing has been a little slow with all the innertubers but anywhere above and below town has been worth while.  Attractor…

    Missouri River Fishing Report – 7/31

      The Missouri is starting to see larger quantities of weeds and algae so the chances of wrapping some junk is increasing.  The bugs are out in spades with a ton of Tricos out every day, along with caddis, PMDs, and yellow sallies. Big time hopper fishing isn’t far off, either. For dry flies, we’re…

    Rock Creek Fishing Report – 7/31

        With the amount of spruce moths popping along with all the other bugs, the dry fly fishing has been pretty good.  The best luck has been in the morning and evenings but the mid day fishing has still been worth while.  There are caddis hatches in the evening, and golden stones, PMDs, and…

    Clark Fork River Fishing Report – 7/29

    This time of year, if it looks like it might be a partly cloudy day, the Clark Fork is where you want to be. It’s fishing very well in general, but a little cloud cover can turn a good day to an awesome one in a flash. Attractor dries and dry/dropper rigs (PRINCE NYMPHS) are…

    Missouri River Fishing Report – 7/29

      The summer algae is starting to build up, but the good news is that there great opportunities for dry fly fishing to avoid dragging gunk. There are a ton of Tricos out every day, along with caddis, PMDs, and yellow sallies. Big time hopper fishing isn’t far off, either. For dry flies, we’re looking…

    Blackfoot River Fishing Report – 7/29

        Much like Rock Creek, the Spruce moths have shown up on the Blackfoot in a big way. Even the big, stubborn bruisers like to come up for a nicely floated tan fuzzy. For dries use big elk hair caddis, spruce moth patterns, hoppers, Chernobyls, Stimulators, Rogue stones, half downs, bullet heads, parachute adams,…

    Bitterroot Fishing Report – 7/29

    The Bitterroot is living a very protean existence at the moment. If you get it on the right day, it can be really great. Other days… not so much. There’s hope that it will even out here as the summer moves along. For dries, use PMDs, drakes, yellow sallies, caddis, Golden stones and other attractor…
